Cressi Medas Wetsuit Lady – 5mm Two-Piece

The women’s Cressi Medas is a two-piece wetsuit with a hooded 5 mm jacket and 5 mm dungaree-style trousers. The overlapping body sections provide additional neoprene around the torso.

Features and Benefits

• Fabric-lined construction: Fabric on the inside gives the neoprene a more forgiving contact surface when dressing and removing the suit. Ease the panels into place rather than pulling hard on a seam.
• Water control at the openings: GlideSkin wrist and ankle seals. A close seal reduces the repeated replacement of warmed water with colder water. Check that the seals sit flat and overlap properly with the rest of your exposure gear.
• Practical entry: Diagonal jacket zip and front-zip trousers. Open the entry fully before changing and settle the panels into place before closing it. A backing flap or internal barrier, where fitted, interrupts the direct path of water through the zip.
• Reinforcement: Powertex knees and shins. These panels help resist everyday rubbing at contact points without requiring the whole suit to use the same tougher outer material.
• Head coverage: Hooded jacket and dungaree trousers. A properly fitted hood continues the insulation around the head and neck; settle the face opening comfortably without folding the seal.
• Torso overlap: The longjohn-style pants extend over the torso beneath the jacket. The overlap adds neoprene coverage around the body and helps keep the two components positioned together.

Technical Specs

Fit and Sizing

Compare your chest, waist, hips and height with the model’s size guide. The suit should sit closely without restricting breathing or shoulder movement. Settle the panels into place and check for excessive gaps or folds before deciding on a size. Match the thickness and coverage to the water conditions, activity and your own comfort. Warmth depends on fit, exposure time and the rest of your exposure gear.

More About This Model

Smooth GlideSkin neoprene micro-cuffs seal at the wrists and ankles, minimising water entry. The edges of the hood around the face and neck feature smooth neoprene inserts to reduce leaks. Powertex® knee and shin reinforcements provide abrasion resistance without restricting movement.

Gear Care and Washing

After every use, rinse the suit inside and out in cool fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, sand and other residue. Gently hand wash when needed using a wetsuit cleaner suitable for the material, following the cleaner’s dilution instructions and the garment care label. Rinse thoroughly after washing.

Let both sides dry completely in the shade with good airflow. Support the suit on a broad wetsuit hanger, or drape it over a wide support to avoid stretching the shoulders. Store clean and dry in a cool place away from direct sunlight, heaters, hot cars and sharp folds.

Handle smooth seals and inner surfaces gently. Avoid scraping, scrubbing, fingernails and jewellery, and do not stretch a seal by pulling on a small section of it.

Rinse sand and salt from the zip and close hook-and-loop tabs so they cannot snag the fabric. Never force a jammed zip. Use only the zip maker’s specified lubricant and storage position; ordinary wax or silicone is not suitable for every specialist zip.

Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, bleach or use solvents. Follow the supplied care instructions for this suit and its zip before using any cleaning or maintenance product.
